Happy Birthday(s) Julianne!

Last Sunday we celebrated Julianne's 4th birthday!  Wow!  Where have those years gone??

The Birthday Girl

We just had a quiet family celebration.  She got to open the presents from Grammy and Gramps and we just enjoyed playing around with them and spending time together.

I like how this picture captures some of the craziness of the moment:  Julianne opening her present, while Justin does acrobatics on the couch and Elijah tries to snatch the camera away from Matt!

Everyone wants to be the first to play with Julianne's new cash register

modeling some of her new gifts!

 Yesterday, she had part 2 of her birthday:  her party.  She invited 3 of her friends.  We played "Pass the Parcel".

Painted flower magnets.

Decorated cupcakes with sprinkles.

 
I think all in all they had a fun time. 

Julianne will have part 3 of her birthday in a few more weeks when the package from Grandma and Grandpa arrives!
